"Frankenstein" is nominated for multiple Academy Awards including Best Picture and Best Supporting Actor for Jacobi Elordi's portrayal of the Creature. "Frankenstein" is currently streaming on Netflix. After three sit downs, I finished Guillermo Del Toro's "Frankenstein" yesterday. Let’s discuss. Right off the bat, I loved it. It was melodramatic in all the right ways. The movie looked beautiful. I wish I had seen it on the big screen, but my television at home was just fine.

The Friday Listen is a simple, weekly reflection on music that’s been sticking with me — songs worth sitting with, revisiting, or hearing a little more closely.

Loveland takes its role as the Sweetheart of Ohio  very seriously and, as such, we take the season of love and all things Valentine, very seriously. And why wouldn’t we? What community is more uniquely qualified to celebrate Amore  than LOVEland? This is our season in the sun! The big show. And we proudly own it.   With February upon us, the good people of Loveland are ready to celebrate! Our beloved Valentine Ladies are already out in the community sharing love and doing goo

"Sinners" just broke the record for Oscar nominations with 16 including nods for Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actor in a Supporting Role, and Best Actress in a Supporting Role. "Sinners" is currently streaming on HBO Max I loved everything about "Sinners". The movie was stylish and cool. I liked the old school vibe of the movie. “Sinners” takes place in the early 1930's in Mississippi. Michael B Jordan plays dual roles, and from the moment he was on screen, t

by Mike Meldon The Friday Listen is a simple, weekly reflection on music that’s been sticking with me — songs worth sitting with, revisiting, or hearing a little more closely. This week’s pick isn’t new. But it feels necessary . A Song That Still Speaks Stevie Wonder’s “Heaven Help Us All”  feels less like entertainment and more like a plea — a moment of collective honesty spoken out loud. Just this week, for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Day , I shared his reminder that people

On August 1st, 1981, American pop culture was forever changed. At 12:01 am people with cable tuned in to a new channel, saw a rocket launch and then heard the words "Ladies and Gentlemen, Rock and Roll", this was followed by the now iconic Buggles music video "Video Killed The Radio Star". Music Television, later branded MTV, was born. The early days of MTV are now iconic. Music videos, cool hip Video Jockeys (VJs) guiding us through the day and night, and news just about the

Loveland City Hall is currently showcasing the work of local watercolor artist Joy Osborne, a longtime Loveland resident whose detailed architectural and landscape paintings are earning fresh attention through a new public exhibit. Osborne’s exhibit features approximately thirty original watercolor pieces, all of which are available for purchase. At the conclusion of the show, Osborne will also raffle off one of her original paintings, with proceeds benefiting Loveland’s LIFE

From AI to networking, today’s hiring process looks nothing like it did even a few years ago. A local HR consultant explains what job seekers should do differently. By Jodi Brandstetter It’s a new year, so why not consider a new career? A recent LinkedIn survey showed that more than 50% of professionals are actively looking for a new role this year. If you haven’t been in the job market recently, you may be surprised by just how different the experience has become. Applying t

Mel Robbins’ best-selling self-help book, The Let Them Theory , has clearly struck a nerve. After selling more than seven million copies and topping The New York Times, Amazon, and Audible lists in 2025, it’s safe to say the message resonates with a wide audience. The core message from Robbins is that much of our stress comes from managing others’ reactions, expectations, and approval. When we “let them” think, feel, and act as they choose, we free ourselves to make decisions

Marty Supreme  is currently playing in theaters around the Loveland Ohio area. I was predestined to like this movie. I have become a pretty big fan of Timothee Chalamet in the past few years, ever since I saw him in "Wonka", and I like what the Safdie brothers do as far as directing. And I fully understand that this was a solo directing job from Josh Safdie, which I am all in for at this point. Josh Safdie has always felt like more of a director than his brother Benny. I feel
